Trying Something New Part 2

I realised that our tea on Sunday provided the perfect opportunity to test out the quinoa.  We were going to have citrus turkey with broccoli and rice, but since I remembered the night before to get the quinoa out to soak I was able to use it in place of rice.

And it worked brilliantly.

CITRUS TURKEY WITH 
BROCCOLI AND QUINOA 
to serve 2 adults and 1 child


Soak 100g quinoa in 1 tbsp natural yoghurt and 450ml warm water overnight at room temp.


Sprinkle 3 turkey steaks with a light dusting of cornflour.  Fry until golden and cooked through then put to one side.

Nathan certainly enjoyed it!

Put 1tsp of honey, 1 tbsp fresh grated root ginger and the juice of 1 orange in the frying pan and fry over a low heat.  Mix 1tsp cornflour with 1tbsp cold water and add to the frying pan, stirring constantly.  Fry until syrupy.  Peel and segment 1 orange and 1 pink grapefruit (unfortunately I couldn't get one of these and had to use segments from a tin of grapefruit salad in juice, which didn't work as well) and add to the frying pan along with the turkey steaks.  Heat gently until warmed through, then sprinkle with chopped chives.


Meanwhile, chop florets from 1 broccoli and steam or boil, covered, in a little water for 5-10 mins.
Boil the quinoa, covered, in the soaking liquid for 20 mins before draining in a fine mesh sieve.  Put it back in the pan with the lid on and leave to steam until ready to serve.  Fluff a little with a fork.

Serve and enjoy!
